Moving out of Connecticut: what the data shows

45 of 55 Connecticut moving companies (81.8%) hold interstate operating authority, compared to 82.4% across the 3,185 movers GoodMigrations tracks nationally. Any company moving your household across a state line needs that authority and a USDOT number, which you can verify yourself through the FMCSA company snapshot tool.

19 Connecticut movers (34.6%) offer full valuation coverage, against 29.2% nationally. The alternative is released-value protection, which every interstate mover must offer at no charge and which pays 60 cents per pound per article. On that basis a 50 pound item worth $1,500 settles for $30.

96.4% of the Connecticut movers GoodMigrations tracks offer storage in transit, which matters on long routes where your delivery window and your lease dates do not line up.

Local moves inside Connecticut average $134 per hour for a crew, which is billed by time. Interstate moves are priced on shipment weight and distance instead, so an hourly rate is not a useful benchmark once you cross a state line.

Licensing rules for movers in Connecticut

The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CDOT) regulates in-state moving companies and taxi, trucking, and bus companies. In addition, customers are also protected from scam movers by regulations set forth by the Connecticut State Department of Consumer Protection.

The Movers & Warehousemen’s Association of Connecticut is the state industry body for Connecticut movers. State registration status can be checked directly at the Connecticut regulator.
